Members from Introduction.com raised $16B last year.
Here's how. 👇🏻
Step #1: They built relationships while everyone else went into hiding
Most people retreat in markets like this.
They get defensive.
They conserve cash.
They stop showing up.
Our members did the opposite.
They used this window to get closer to founders, investors, operators, and decision-makers while access was cheaper and competition for attention was lower.
That matters because a market like this creates unusual asymmetry:
Many companies are hurting.
Teams are leaner.
Talent is more available.
People are more open to the right conversation.
So while others were waiting for conditions to improve, they were building the relationships that would shape the next cycle.
Step #2: They embraced three core truths
1.) The barrier to entry has collapsed. Anyone can build. Anyone can create. Anyone can provide value.
2.) Your network matters more than ever.
3.) Non-consensus thinkers will have disproportionate upside.
If one thing remains true, it’s this:
Power flows to people with access, conviction, and leverage.
Step #3: They surrounded themselves with exceptional people
The top 1% of thinkers, builders, and innovators naturally converge.
And in times like this, those rooms become even more valuable.
The byproduct of high-trust, non-zero-sum interaction between hungry,
talented people is outsized opportunity.
Better ideas.
Better timing.
Better partnerships.
Better companies.
Create, compete, and build with people who see the world early.
That’s the thesis.

Meet Irene Patrikios 👋
Huge congrats to Introduction member @crypto_irene on her promotion to Chief Business Officer at @zama, after serving as VP of BD & Partnerships.
→ Previously VP of BD & Partnerships at Zama
→ Former Director, Strategic Partnerships at @Optimism
→ Former Head of Ecosystem Success at RootstockLabs
Almost twelve years in crypto.
Every cycle, every boom, every rebuild of trust after.
At Optimism she drove Tier-1 partnerships with Uniswap, Kraken, Sony and Worldcoin.
She joined Zama right before mainnet on a simple bet: confidentiality is the infrastructure that brings institutions onchain.
When a member wins, we all win. Congrats Irene 👇

Congrats Irene 👇
Very excited to be a part of this effort and build standards for institutional onchain finance alongside the teams actually doing the work.
Zama brings compliance onchain through confidential tokens - selective disclosure at the protocol level, without giving up composability or verifiability, ensuring to preserve the value of what public chains enable.
Any regulated business operating onchain needs Zama and standards is how we get blockchains to go from an RnD project to financial infra.
Congratulations to the team and excited to contribute!
